I was bummed out last week watching the snow fall, again -- another 3 inches on top of a good foot-and-half of snow already on the ground. I wanted to get out of the house and go somewhere, anywhere, but knew it was safer to stay put.
I was sitting in the kitchen, catching up on my favorite blogs, when I came across a classic M&M cookie recipe from Beantown Baker. For some reason, I had the sudden urge to make these cookies. And I figured, if I'm baking one type of cookie, I might as well bake another. I've been curious to try the Ultimate Cookie featured in Iowa Girl Eats. Toffee chips, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips and oats: Sounds like cookie heaven.
I wanted to bake cute little M&M cookies in Valentine colors. But my small-town grocery store only had leftover Christmas M&Ms. The cookies still turned out adorable, though. But I'm biased.
The Ultimate Cookies weren't colorful, but they sure were fun to make. However, I wouldn't put them on my "ultimate" list. I'm not a big fan of butterscotch chips, and I couldn't taste the yummy toffee chips with all the other competing flavors. That didn't stop me from eating way too many of these, however.
Your cookies look great! I think a Cookie Friday is a great idea.
